Ain't nothing you can't sort dude! It came as a kit, you know the sort, "no instructions of glue" included type kit. It took the chap about 3 weeks to locate all the boxes of "stuff" that consisted of the "Kit" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barry Acclaim Guru Posted February 23 Author Share Posted February 23 I think this is starting to look a little bit more like a car 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Acclaim Guru Posted February 23 Author Share Posted February 23 Decided to take a look at the engine, it id not start well. Timing chain stretched like elastic, sump full of slime, and the block is ... well.. see for yourself. Words like boat anchor springs to mind. 🤨 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firefly Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Nice set of plug leads, have faith it`s probably better than it looks, but has been badly neglected. At least the heads are off, took 4 days to remove mine! Mac 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firefly Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Herald`s a piece of cake Wendy, there`s only one for a start, so no more than two days!! The Stag has ally heads that weld themselves to the studs. You have to jack the heads about 12mm clear of the block and hacksaw thro the studs. Strangely what`s left of the studs come out of the block with pliers, studs out of the head is a big press job. I recon you`ll have yours off in a morning, 🤞 and good luck. Mac 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as no con rods have said hello to the outside world, it's more than likely salvageable. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How stiff to these have to be before we admit defeat and replace them? 🤦 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
